The Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) has categorically denied reports that international banks have rejected its request for a $1.5 billion loan.
According to COCOBOD, the reports circulating in the media are "completely false and misleading" and are causing unnecessary panic in the cocoa industry.
The loan in question is part of COCOBOD's annual syndicated loan facility, which is used to finance cocoa purchases and other operations.
COCOBOD has assured stakeholders that negotiations with international banks are ongoing and that the loan facility is expected to be secured soon.
The denial comes after reports emerged that international banks had rejected COCOBOD's loan request due to concerns over Ghana's debt sustainability and economic stability.
COCOBOD has reiterated its commitment to ensuring a smooth cocoa season and has urged stakeholders to disregard the false reports.
